We just arrived at our camp site and when I unhooked our 2024 JL, I’m getting an error that tire pressure is unavailable. The low air light is flashing and all the pressures are showing blanks. I briefly drove it around the parking lot after disconnecting it and it’s still not registering. The trip was only about 75 miles from home, about 2 hours on the road. Any idea why this would be happening? All the tires do have air in them!

Mine does that after flat towing. It should come back on after a few short trips.

It’s back now, just thought it was weird, first time this has happened, but also the furthest we have towed it also. With all power off I wonder why it even happens?

FYI: With a tazer or J-scan you can actually disable the TPMS sensors if you desire. I did but I'm weird that way. ?

Thank you. Since we already experienced a puncture with less than 100 miles on our new JL, I really want to keep the sensors active.

They are working again now, just odd that they lost connection after being towed when everything in the Jeep was off. Pressure in all 4 tires were still where they were when we left, so it’s not like there was any significant change in tire pressure.

Our JL is towed behind our motorhome and since our last trip, the two drivers side tpms won't show intermittently. Our trip was around 5k miles, but I've never had this problem before, and this Jeep's been towed over 20k. Not sure if the sensors (screw on) for the coach tpms display for the Jeep were causing interference, but I ended up just turning it off with the Tazer. Haven't tried it since.
